Buell Lighting City XXB9SX - xBhp.com : The Global Indian Biking Community

ace619 · 11-16-2004, 11:31 AM

Next time u see a rider who absolutely zaps through traffic,intimidating some,evading others and dissapearing in a blink of a eye[:0]..you could have very well felt the wrath of Buell's new Lighting City XXB9Sx[}

] ( damn length name so lets jus call it Lighting City X)...According to buell the City X is bred to rule the mean streets..Erik buell described this bike as..."This is a bike for the rider who loves to dodge traffic,power away from lights and utilise the incredible agility of a sports motorcycle to charge through the asphalt jungle"(that would be me Mr.buell[

])
The engine is 984cc fuel-injected V twin[:0].The City X has a ludicrous wheel base of 1320mm[:0],heck our Zma has a wheel base of 1355mm[^].And it dosent stop der this baby is aggrasive with front forks set @ 21 degrees

And the swing arm holds the engine oil.[:0]and since the swing arm gets hot..so we better stay away from it

Inverted front forks with a 375mm single disc being clamped by six-pot callipers,a fully adjustable rear shox,the flicability and sheer speed of takin turns will dizzy many a riders.
So here its is the new urban monster..it will smoke of the lights dance around the potholes,slice through traffic..[

gr8 bike

shernell911 · 11-16-2004, 11:42 PM

amazing bike

rajazz · 11-17-2004, 12:55 AM

A very awesome bike...though reviews say the handling is not as sharp as it shud be but hey, sharper than most others with that short wheelbase. I like the funky design as it is pretty much different from our conventional bikes...however, most ppl say that the bike's power is unusable in most cases!!...hey, I say give it to me & I will put it to good use!!!! [:P][:d]

ketan86 · 11-17-2004, 02:16 AM

nice ride. very funky.
well its made for better handlin and stuff and as rajazz is sayin dat its handlin aint so good so it proves to be totally ironical.
but for me the bike's a 8/10

bikefreak · 11-17-2004, 02:29 AM

Don't really like the looks.

Wonder why a bike that is almost 1000cc (984) delivers just 92 hp ?
The Honda CBR 600 (even the F2 & F3 made 10 yrs back) are supposed to be 100+ hp bikes

shernell911 · 11-17-2004, 02:44 AM

the bike is gr8 ...whats the cost of the bike
